About This Game

Island Off Outer Darkness follows the narrative of the Postman, a resident Postal Worker in a small fishing village in Antarctic waters off the coast of the volcano Outer Darkness. They start new to the job, and must deliver packages to residents day-by-day, week-by-week. As they learn more about the island and its townsfolk, aberrations in space begin to appear. Featuring music and visual artistic work by several ex-RFCK members, Island Off Outer Darkness is the story of this town, and these people.

Features:

• Live out the life of a kind of antisocial government employee in an alien place.

• Act out thrilling strand-type delivery simulator gameplay.

• Read and press buttons in a menuing and dialogue system inspired by classic RPGs.

• Go green with the gardening and hybridizing of over 15 otherworldly crops.

• Chum fast by fishing in the ocean, with over 40 reelable fish, plants, and rocks.

• Keep your ears peeled for a 31-track OST composed by the artist CalamityRhapsody.

• Experience an unfolding story full of intrigue... and mystery.

• Discover the world of Kolob, via its effects on the isolated fishing village.

Meet the townsfolk:

• Pluripotent Fester, a former freedom fighter and political writer for the liberation of Argyre for Pluripotentkind. Depressive, and in exile.

• Brucehilda, a grandaunt, plumber, and resident of the island for over 60 years. And a doppelgänger, of her "twin sister".

• The Postman, a gender-nonspecific mid-twenties youth from the mainland, new to their Postmanly job on the island.

• Leonargo, a scholarly sea people from the depths, fished up and localized a few years before Island Off Outer Darkness takes place.

• Aleks, an awkward farmer on the desolate rock and lover of his devoted partner Bucephalus.

• And many more!

Most honestly, this is slow, short game for ex-RFCK people. It has all the things above, though!
